Clean Tech Tiny House in San Jose

New Avenue Homes, builder of a popular NZE tiny house in Berkeley, has a new Clean Tech Exhibit home on display in San Jose. The home has a living room, kitchenette, bedroom, bathroom, storage, and all sorts of green technology and sustainable materials. New Avenue prefabricated the structure and estimates that a home of this size costs about $70,000 to build and permit, not including upgrades or special circumstances.

New Avenue specializes in backyard cottages, ADUs, and second units. The company has twelve projects underway and keeps this showcase open every Saturday from 9am – 12pm across the street from the City Hall of San Jose.

$70,000 may be expensive, but it looks like they’re using high end materials. I would spend the money for the high end materials, others may not be able to afford it, but I’m thinking that would all be negotiable. Bottom line for me, the end result will still be a smaller foot print…..
